Glitz Design| Love Nest Remember When Keepsake Box

Ahhh, Glitz Love Nest. . . quite possibly my very favorite Glitz Collection ever. This sneak doesn't show both sides of the papers. If you love cottage and shabby, you really must see this collection! I had a hard time deciding on what to use. Each side is just too pretty!

You might have noticed, but I kind of have a thing for pink damask, so I especially loved that piece!

I actually created two projects with this collection. For the first, I recovered and embellished a keepsake box.

I really love this combination of yellow and pink together. After adhering the paper to the box I sanded over it and added distress ink to give it a very vintage and worn feel.

On the top, I layered a transparency with one of the heavy weight vintage ephemera pieces with a flower, vintage hanky, and a title tag. There is a bit of vintage style book print from the collection tucked under the flower also.

The transparency frame has a red design. I loved the size of it and the design but the color was a bit bolder than I wanted. I discovered that if I turned it over I could still see the patter but the color was a softer shade. Perfect!

I applied a Glitz sheet music rub-ons over the vintage ephemera card. I then lightly wrinkled and sanded the surface which softened the look of the rub-on, making it look printed on the card. I added distress ink to the edges.

Okay, I will be back tomorrow with another BasicGrey project to share. I hope you will check it out!
